Structural role of water in plants. Structurally, the plant cell resembles a water balloon. A young
cell is typically 85 % water. Growth occurs as water enters the cell in response to an osmotic
driving force, and the pressure of the intracellular water inflates the cellulosic wall which bounds
the cell. Proteins, carbohydrates and other metabolites are deposited during growth; but the primary
process of volume expansion is driven by water uptake. The structural rigidity of the soft plant
tissues is also conferred by water. This can be seen in the wilting of leaves of plants subjected to
sudden drought.
On a microscopic scale, most living cells are highly hydrated. The aqueous environment is
necessary for the functional shape of many of the important cellular molecules, including the
proteins and lipids which are the building blocks of living matter.
Chemical importance of water in plants. Chemically, water is a reactant in photosynthesis, the
chemical reaction which is the basis of the food chain. Within the plant chloroplast, energy from
sunlight is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrate and oxygen. The chemical
reaction for photosynthesis is written:
6 CO2 + 6 H2O C6H12O6 + 6 O2
carbon water carbohydrate oxygen
dioxide

Water play an important role in plants. Without water plants can't live it's xylem tissue in plants that transports the water to different parts of plant and then phloem uses this water for making food and minerals and then send to different parts if water would be not there all these processes would not occur and plant would soon die....
